ASX Release 28 July 2009
CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS RELEASE (Monday 27 July 2009)
In reference to the Sambuca prospect mentioned in the announcement released yesterday 27 July, Sambuca does not form part the Tracs conclusion.
INDEPENDENT EVALUATION OF 74.5mmboe DOUGGA GAS CONDENSATE FIELD
AuDAX Resources Ltd (ASX:ADX) is pleased to announce that Tracs International Consultancy Limited – a highly reputable UK based reserves evaluation company – has completed a reserves evaluation and development design study of the Dougga Gas Condensate field in AuDAX’s Kerkouane license offshore Tunisia. AuDAX currently holds 100% of the Dougga discovery.
Key conclusions of the study are:
-
Most likely sales gas and condensate contingent resources are 74.5 mmboe. This includes 42 mmbbls of liquids.
-
The upside estimate is 117 mmboe with a liquid contents of 65 mmboe.
-
The total project Net Present Value at 10% discount rate for the most likely resource is 1.134 Billion USD, assuming product prices of 80 USD/ bbl of condensate and 9.9 USD / mscf of gas in 2014. In the upside resource case the NPV is estimated to be 2.66 billion USD.
-
The detailed development design study has demonstrated that the Dougga field can be developed with conventional off the shelf proven technology with a focus on optimizing condensate and liquids stripping.
AuDAX is preparing to drill the nearby (12 km) Sambuca exploration prospect before embarking on an appraisal of the Dougga field.
Sambuca contains the same reservoirs as the Dougga gas condensate field in addition to the expected shallower Birsa oil reservoirs. In the case of an Abiod gas condensate discovery at Sambuca a joint development of both fields would be most profitable.
The Sambuca prospect is located in two contiguous Exploration Permits, in G.R15.PU, offshore
the island of Pantelleria southwest of Sicily in Italian waters and in the Kerkouane Permit offshore northeast Tunisia (see figure below).
Drilling tender documents have been prepared and an invitation will be sent to the potential bidders shortly.
Exploration work within the Pantelleria and Kerkouane Permits has identified a number of prospects and leads. The Sambuca prospect appears to be one of the largest undrilled structures in the Mediterranean Sea with a total P50 unrisked recoverable resource potential of 270 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The total P50 unrisked recoverable resource of the mapped prospects in both permits could exceed one billion barrels of oil equivalent.
